Ohhh boy, indeed…
But who is Jean jealous over?
My theory currently is Belle consciously and Neil subconsciously
I disagree i think it’s the other way around. Jean wants to be with Bell but wants her womanly needs met to. She was jealous of the guy fooling around with Bell that’s why she said her male self was coming home.
OK, so I was wrong in thinking that Neil was entirely too casual to have slept with Belle.
And no, it doesn’t look like Jeanie has changed.
Look at the last panel. If Neil had slept with Belle, he not going to be admitting it to Jeanie. We will have to just wait and see.
As others have noted, if he had not had sex with Belle, Neil would have simply said, “No”.
I admit, I have trouble believing that Neil, good old nerdish Neil, is not a bit more dazed at having bedded the delicious Belle. He doesn’t have that creamy satisfaction I’d expect him too.
But given the way Jeanie phrased the question, if Neil didn’t have sex with Belle, he should have just said so.
Emotional whiplash. Also, mixed signals. Some sense of normalcy.
Ok Neil time to straiten Jean-ie out.
Man up and tell Jean to smarten up or you are not helping her any more.
Tell her she better stop screwing up your life trying to fix hers.
If you can’t do that then go find a new master to torrent.
To be fair she’s also trier helping him out with his life too.
The problem is, Jeanie has ulterior motive to everything she does and they go cross purpose to anything that she want to do, even if she trying to help someone. First she mad at Neil because he didn’t go fur enough with Belle and now he mad at Neil, because he may have gone too far with Belle. If Jeanie does get Neil girl friend, She going to feel left out, because Neil going to be more interested in his girl friend, because will be more interested in his girl friend than he will with Jeanie out of the picture. Jeanie will get jealous again and that leave Neil in a no win situation here.
The only “help” she has given him is to fix things she messed up. Turning him into a girl to help roger would not be necessary if she had not messed up his work situation. If she had went on the date with Roger instead of forcing Neil to things would have played out different.
She brought him lunch with no strings attached, tried to show him new things she’s learnt. Roger told her he was dissapointed in her as a date and preferred Natalie.
Wait, why isn’t Jean-ie telling Neil about Araceli?
She apparently took Araceli’s threat seriously. I, too, was hoping she’d spill, but apparently that’s not in the cards. Too arrogant to ask for help, perhaps? That’s definitely Jean-like.
I’m thinking that it’s more like she’s…Jeanie, who does not think carefully about the consequences of her actions. All that matters to her at the moment is that Neil (most likely) had sex with Belle–pretty much a given once Jeanie made Neil Jean’s stand-in.
Watch any sitcom and you will see a small miss understanding as the plot. Same is true here it looks like.
He did say they did a lot of things Jean and Belle liked to do together…there were other things they liked to do together besides sex, right?
Based on Neil’s reactions in the last panel, i am pretty sure they did not play tiddly-winks or Twister.
Well, Naked Twister, maybe…
Naked twister would only be interesting if you added some more body parts to the spinner.
Considering belle wasn’t that upset about his suddenly travelling to the middle east I’m going to go with no.
After Jean being gone that long there is only one thing she will want assuming shes like any normal woman.
The hole in your statement here is the fact no one is normal in this comic.
That would be a “yes.”
As they say: Open mouth, insert foot.
Are jennies a specialized form of hell spawn. That might explain a lot.
The Arabic version of the afterlife is different from the Christian Heaven and Hell. If I remember correctly, djinn come from the “dimension” of flames. However, that’s different from being a spawn of Hell.
One is probable based off of the other.
According to middle-eastern lore, Jinn are beings made of smokeless fire. I think that’s depicted quite nicely here.
Is Jean wiping her eye — crying — in the first panel? She’s definitely getting more girly, though I doubt that she’ll admit it, even to herself.
It would make an interesting triad, with the three sexual combinations: Belle and Neil, Belle and Jean, AND Neil and Jean.
Yes, she crying like a regular girl does, along with seeking comfort in a mans arms. Just the same way that other girl act when there operating properly. But, then Jeanie goes back to her old self again. But, there is a certain amount of her acting like a girl going on here on some level.
So…another trip to the strip club for Neil? Or something more interesting?
If only Neil were authorized to order her back into the bottle or wish she was cool with his relations with other women.
Oh wait… He is!
I never read this from the beginning, so I think I missed a few things like…
…why can’t Neil just wish Jean back to being Jean’s normal, mortal self?
…Neil is Jean’s master, right? Why doesn’t he start acting like it?
As far as the current storyline goes, doesn’t Jean realize that if she flips out and ‘punishes’ Neil that that will be exactly the kind of behavior that Lord Guano is looking to use to bottle her permanently?
Here’s an idea that I think may be rather comedic…what if Jean and Neil came clean about Jean being a real genie and have Neil hand over Jean’s bottle to Belle? I somehow don’t think Jean mind being ‘owned’ by Belle.
Neil tried wishing Jeanie back to Jean, at her insistent demand. It didn’t work.
Good question about Neil refusing master-status.
As to the consequences of punishing Neil, Jeanie’s attention horizon is about five seconds.
read it from the beginning there are not that many comics.
Jeanie demands to be made Jean again here:

This is early on, strip 5 & 6 if I’m not mistaken.
DJINN VS. GENIES
This series is inspired by nearly-five-decades-old television series which was far removed from the Tales of the Thousand Nights and One Night, and even further removed from the Arabian mythos–the djinn are mentioned in the Koran. About the closest the original series came to authenticity was having Jeannie speak Persian when she first came out of her bottle–the “Arabian” Nights are, in fact, mostly a collection of Persian tales.
That said, I’m really hoping Jeanie sends both Neil and Belle to the stripper pole.
And that TV series was based on a movie called “the brass bottle”. Burl Ives of all people was the genie in it. Barbra Eden was in it as well. She wasn’t a genie though, she was the female lead.
I used to have a copy of “The Brass Bottle” on my old computer. Tony Randall was the master and the genie was… Burl Ives!
And while we’re on the subject of other roles for Barbara Eden, she was in a short-lived TV series version of “How to Marry a Millionaire” before IDOJ. She played the part Marilyn Monroe played in the movie.
—–
More seriously, at least some Arabs still believe in djinn and count them as liable to salvation (or the opposite) as humans. They’re supposed sort of spend most of their time nearly phased out to human eyes–and they usually don’t see or don’t take notice of us lesser beings.
Jean only have “himself” to blame for having Neil posed as “his” old self rather than fess up to Belle. What did “he” really think would happen?
Especially after “he” insisted that he kisses her
And grab her ass.
“Thinking” and “Jean”: Two things things that seldom go together.
About the only thing that could save Neil now is Araceli showing up again, which *might* remind Jean in time that Jean is the one whose in much deeper trouble.
I don’t want Neil “saved” by Araceli or anyone else; I want him to save himself. He will not be a credible master otherwise.
One of the nicest things about Neil is that he doesn’t want to be *anyone’s* master (something he shares with Tony Nelson in the original IDOJ trope.)
Natascha Kampusch now owns the house in which she spent her 3096 days of captivity. I wonder if she’ll ever sell it.
Aww…we’re not ‘swell’ anymore 🙁
Good luck on the project CD, look forward to having you back when the time comes.
